As Xia Feng confirmed it was the Nai Wei Grass, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Even if Emperor Can Ye were present, he would still snatch it.
Only after obtaining this item could they discuss other trivial matters; otherwise, he would be in a passive position.
This was fate. By chance, he learned about the Nai Wei Grass from Yin Kang Shun. Without Yin Kang Shun's information, he wouldn't know how much longer he would have to search.
Upon arriving at the Dark Void Continent, the Can Ye Sect coincidentally needed to recruit a ninth-rank alchemist.
Everything linked together, giving Xia Feng the opportunity to pose as an alchemist.
Shen You had been very careful and cautious, so this matter couldn't truly be blamed on him.
Who would have thought an Immortal Emperor would pretend to be a mere alchemist to deceive others?
It should be said he was low-key, as Xia Feng was indeed an alchemist, so it wasn't entirely false.
Through a series of impossibilities, he ultimately turned the impossible into the possible, finally seeing the long-lost Nai Wei Grass.
As for offending Emperor Can Ye, that was not something Xia Feng needed to consider.
Once the Nai Wei Grass was in hand, Xia Feng could go wherever he pleased in the vast world.
If conditions permitted, Xia Feng wanted to test Emperor Can Ye's strength. Having finally found someone against whom he could unleash his full power, Xia Feng did not want to miss the opportunity.
"This Nai Wei Grass is mine."
This sentence echoed in the secret chamber, and the four people from the Can Ye Sect did not understand what Xia Feng meant.
"Little friend, what do you mean by that?" Lei Zheng Hao asked, looking at Xia Feng with a bewildered expression.
"Don't you understand yet? This Nai Wei Grass is mine." Xia Feng reached out, and the box in Lei Zheng Hao's hand was instantly grasped by Xia Feng.
The faces of the four changed drastically. Now, they didn't need to understand; they understood everything.
This guy came to steal the Nai Wei Grass?
However.
But.
You, an Immortal King, are dreaming too big!
With lightning speed, Xia Feng snatched the Nai Wei Grass before the four could react.
∑(っ°Д°;)っ Holy cow, it's gone.
At this moment, Lei Zheng Hao finally reacted, realizing the black box had been snatched by Xia Feng.
But wasn't Xia Feng an alchemist of the Immortal King realm?
How could he have taken the box without them knowing?
He wasn't an Immortal King; he was faking it.
Lei Zheng Hao shouted, "He's not an Immortal King, everyone be careful."
In the flash of an eye, everything was done. Lei Zheng Hao's shout made the other three react.
Boom.....
The three closest to Xia Feng attacked together, and a massive aura surged towards him.
Xia Feng waved his hand, flicking his palm casually, easily breaking through their combined assault. The three's faces changed drastically, and they quickly retreated a few steps.
Shen You and Zhang Bin Bai, whose strength was inferior, retreated to the corner before stabilizing themselves.
At this point, if Shen You still didn't understand Xia Feng was playing the role of a weakling to deceive them, he would be incredibly foolish.
He truly had a ruthless heart, using their trust in him to deceive them. It was too cruel.
"For the sake of the Nai Wei Grass, I won't harm you. You only have one chance," Xia Feng said, looking at the three with changed expressions.
"Who exactly are you?" Lei Zheng Hao's face turned ashen. He had witnessed Xia Feng's display of power.
He felt he couldn't defeat Xia Feng and began to prepare to placate him.
Xia Feng suppressed his cultivation to the late stage of Immortal Venerable, just shy of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Without an Immortal Emperor present, his true cultivation could not be discerned. After all, the Can Ye Sect had an Immortal Emperor. It was better to keep a contingency plan and strike unexpectedly.
"You've seen my realm, haven't you? Once I break through to Immortal Emperor, I'll need this Nai Wei Grass to stabilize my realm," Xia Feng said with a faint smile.
"Then you'll need to be alive to consume it," Lei Zheng Hao's expression turned cold.
He truly didn't expect anyone would dare to come and rob them.
This was like looking for trouble in a latrine with a lantern.
Lei Zheng Hao had been extremely cautious, but he hadn't expected Xia Feng to be so cunning and hide his intentions so perfectly.
Crucially, he truly was a ninth-rank alchemist, which was the main reason they had let down their guard.
"Do you think the four of you have the strength to keep me here?" Xia Feng asked with a faint smile.
If it came to a fight, Xia Feng would have to go all out.
Xia Feng's words left the four speechless, as it seemed they couldn't keep him.
The strength Xia Feng had just displayed was sufficient proof.
Shen You's face turned green with anger, his fists clenched tightly. No wonder Xia Feng had initially proposed the Nai Wei Grass as payment. After he refused, Xia Feng still insisted on seeing the Nai Wei Grass.
Now that he thought about it, Shen You felt like an idiot.
He really had a mental block; just looking at the Nai Wei Grass was enough?
This was utterly preposterous.
"Xia Feng, this is the Can Ye Sect. Even if the four of us can't keep you, do you think you'll be able to escape the Dark Void Continent?"
As the Sect Master, Shen You was the one who brought him here. If he remained silent now, he would seem useless.
"Emperor Can Ye is not here, what will you use to keep me?" Xia Feng prepared to pry for information.
He glanced at Lei Zheng Hao. From the moment the three attacked, he had been trying to communicate with someone, likely Emperor Can Ye.
Therefore, Xia Feng had been patiently waiting, wanting a direct confrontation with Emperor Can Ye.
To test his own limits.
From the time he arrived at the Dark Void Continent from the Profound Sky Continent, Xia Feng's initial plan was to simply seize it. If there was an opportunity, he would never let it pass.
The second thing he planned to do after obtaining it was to spar with Emperor Can Ye.
While Lei Zheng Hao was communicating with Emperor Can Ye, Xia Feng played along and waited.
Liao Kai, an ancestor of the Can Ye Sect in the Immortal Venerable mid-stage, saw through the ruse. He knew Lei Zheng Hao was communicating with Emperor Can Ye, so he spoke up to persuade Xia Feng.
"Xia Feng, put down the box. We, the Can Ye Sect, guarantee that what happened today will be forgotten."
Lei Zheng Hao looked at Liao Kai with admiration. "He understands me."
"Yes, put down the box, and it will be forgotten. I swear by the Heavenly Dao in the capacity of the Can Ye Sect Master," Shen You added.
To make Xia Feng lower his guard, Shen You even swore in the name of the Heavenly Dao.
Xia Feng smiled and said, "Aren't you guys deliberately stalling for time? Are you waiting for Emperor Can Ye to come and deal with me?"
"There's no such thing. Emperor Can Ye is not within the sect. Furthermore, the four of us are in the secret chamber with you, and no one knows what happened inside."
Shen You quickly waved his hands, denying Xia Feng's statement.
"I have a question. If you answer it for me, I will put down the box," Xia Feng said faintly, a smile on his lips.
"Please speak. As long as we know, we will not refuse," Liao Kai suggested.
"Emperor Can Ye is the first Immortal Emperor to appear in the Dark Void Continent in nearly a million years, and he is currently the only Immortal Emperor remaining. I wish to know what realm Emperor Can Ye is truly in?"
Xia Feng voiced the doubt in his heart.
